"Award-winning American author and devout Roman Catholic Flannery O'Connor will appear on a new postage stamp this summer, the U.S. postal service announced last week. The stamp is decorated with peacock feathers, a tribute to the family peacock farm in Georgia where O'Connor did much of her writing.
"Famous for her Southern Gothic fiction style, O'Connor's best-known works include her first novel, "Wise Blood", and many short stories such as “A Good Man is Hard to Find.” A collection of her works, "The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor," won the 1972 National Book Award for fiction and was named the Best of the National Book Awards, 1950-2008 by a public vote."
O'Connor's Mystery and Manners probably did more to form my attitude toward writing than any other book. If you're interested in writing, consider reading it. Great book.
